In His Sacred Humanity, Jesus was moved with compassion for the crowd. The Greek root of the word for compassion means to suffer with. The disciples viewed the matter as a problem. They approached it through a lens of economic scarcity. Jesus understood the economy of heaven. The question He asks of all of us today is - do we? Jesus asked the disciples a simple question: "what do you have?" They did not understand. They had been invited to participate in God's work by simply giving what they had in a Holy Exchange. When they finally did, Jesus used the matter given by men, loaves and fish, to manifest the manna of heaven. He still does.

CHESAPEAKE,VA (Catholic Online) - It is my birthday; the last year of my fifth decade on this earth. As I have aged I have come to understand how wonderfully interwoven the Lord's message to us becomes in the stuff of our daily lives - when we have the eyes of living faith with which to see it and the ears open to hear Him speaking to us. I just read the Gospel of the day at Holy Mass, the account of the miracle of the loaves in the Gospel of St Matthew:
At that time: Jesus walked by the Sea of Galilee, went up on the mountain, and sat down there. Great crowds came to him, having with them the lame, the blind, the deformed, the mute, and many others. They placed them at his feet, and he cured them. The crowds were amazed when they saw the mute speaking, the deformed made whole, the lame walking, and the blind able to see, and they glorified the God of Israel.
Jesus summoned his disciples and said, "My heart is moved with pity for the crowd, for they have been with me now for three days and have nothing to eat. I do not want to send them away hungry, for fear they may collapse on the way." The disciples said to him, "Where could we ever get enough bread in this deserted place to satisfy such a crowd?" Jesus said to them, "How many loaves do you have?" "Seven," they replied, "and a few fish."
He ordered the crowd to sit down on the ground. Then he took the seven loaves and the fish, gave thanks, broke the loaves, and gave them to the disciples, who in turn gave them to the crowds. They all ate and were satisfied. They picked up the fragments left over-seven baskets full. (Matt. 15:29-37)
The miracle is recorded in all four gospels, emphasizing its significance. As is often the case, each of the four evangelists focuses on a particular aspect of the miracle in order to emphasize for the reader the significance and implication of the event in their own lives. St. Mark's account, set forth below, shows us its ongoing nature as it connects the miracle with the experience of the apostles immediately following the event in a way which is instructive for our own lives:
People were coming and going in great numbers, and they had no opportunity even to eat. So they went off in the boat by themselves to a deserted place. People saw them leaving and many came to know about it. They hastened there on foot from all the towns and arrived at the place before them. When he disembarked and saw the vast crowd, his heart was moved with pity for them, for they were like sheep without a shepherd; and he began to teach them many things. By now it was already late and his disciples approached him and said, "This is a deserted place and it is already very late. Dismiss them so that they can go to the surrounding farms and villages and buy themselves something to eat.
He said to them in reply, "Give them some food yourselves." But they said to him, "Are we to buy two hundred days' wages worth of food and give it to them to eat?" He asked them, "How many loaves do you have? Go and see." And when they had found out they said, "Five loaves and two fish." So he gave orders to have them sit down in groups on the green grass. The people took their places in rows by hundreds and by fifties. Then, taking the five loaves and the two fish and looking up to heaven, he said the blessing, broke the loaves, and gave them to (his) disciples to set before the people; he also divided the two fish among them all. They all ate and were satisfied. And they picked up twelve wicker baskets full of fragments and what was left of the fish. Those who ate (of the loaves) were five thousand men. Jesus made his disciples get into the boat and go on ahead of him to Bethsaida, while he dismissed the crowd. After leaving them, he went up on a mountainside to pray.
When evening came, the boat was in the middle of the lake, and he was alone on land. He saw the disciples straining at the oars, because the wind was against them. About the fourth watch of the night he went out to them, walking on the lake. He was about to pass by them, but when they saw him walking on the lake, they thought he was a ghost. They cried out, because they all saw him and were terrified. Immediately he spoke to them and said, "Take courage! It is I. Don't be afraid." Then he climbed into the boat with them, and the wind died down. They were completely amazed, for they had not understood about the loaves; their hearts were hardened. (St. Mark 6:31-52)
During this account of the miracle in Mark's Gospel we are told that the disciples had encouraged Jesus to dismiss the crowd because - from their perspective - they simply could not feed these hungry people, even with two hundred days wages. They did not see the situation with the eyes of living faith. However, Jesus did - and He wants all who bear His name to learn to walk by the light of that same faith. He gives us the grace to do so, right now.
In His Sacred Humanity, Jesus was moved with compassion for the crowd. The Greek root of the word for compassion means to suffer with. The disciples viewed the matter as a problem. They approached it through a lens of economic scarcity. Jesus understood the economy of heaven. The question He asks of all of us today is - do we?
Jesus asked the disciples a simple question: "what do you have?" They did not understand. They had been invited to participate in God's work by simply giving what they had in a Holy Exchange. When they finally did, Jesus used the matter given by men, loaves and fish, to manifest the manna of heaven. He still does.
The next day the instruction and the experience continued. We find them in the boat fishing. We find Jesus praying. Their placement in the boat in the story was a favorite image for the early church fathers, seen as a figure of the ark of the Old Covenant and the ark of the New Covenant, which is the Church. It is this Church, this communion of persons joined in Jesus through Baptism, which He came to found and over which He would later install these men in apostolic office. It is this Church, of which we are members, which continues His redemptive mission until He returns.
That is why this lesson is so vitally important. The disciples needed to understand about the loaves- and so do we. This kind of understanding only comes from communion with the Father, in the Son, through the Spirit. It is the fruit of a living, dynamic and authentic faith. Jesus invited the disciples to believe that when they have Him, they have everything. Yet, here in a storm, they fled to the familiar, the fear of the circumstances. So powerful were their fears that they prevented them from even recognizing God Incarnate as He passed right before them! They thought He was a ghost!
How crippling our own fears can become when we do not commune in prayer but rely on ourselves and our mere human effort. They had not understood about the loaves. Do we? We will live the way we love. Like the disciples, we are invited to live our lives now in the Lord. Faith is a light that is meant to preside over our entire lives, even during those storms that inevitably come. When it does, we will see Jesus right there in the midst of the storm. We will come to experience authentic peace, even in apparent turmoil and we learn to navigate the waters of daily life.
The Lord heard the cry of the poor as it issued from the mouths of his own disciples and He spoke these beautiful words: Take Courage it is I: Don't Be Afraid. We need to hear these words and learn to understand the loaves. Then, we need to let that understanding inform our daily lives. That understanding will open our eyes to see all of life differently. We can participate in the continuing miracle, beginning right now.

'American Pop' set for Friday opening in Tempe
TEMPE, Ariz. — A tribute to American pop culture is coming to Tempe.
The Gallery at the Tempe Center for the Arts is getting ready for "American Pop," an art exhibit that is a salute to popular things that people love and collect. Everything from photographs to statues to comic books will be there when the exhibit opens Friday night.
Gallery coordinator Michelle Nichols Dock said Valley business and art leaders were asked what they loved as a kid and what they love today.
"What we heard was that they grew up watching 'Star Trek' episodes, 'Looney Tunes,' Marvin the Martian, and Batman," said Dock. "Today, they still collect Batman toys and still go to Batman movies."
In fact, an entire wall of the exhibit is dedicated to the 1960's "Batman" TV show, with autographed pictures of Adam West, Burt Ward, Burgess Meredith and other stars of the popular show. The Batmobile that was sold at last year's Barrett-Jackson auto auction will also be on display for Friday's opening night.
Dock said there are lots of other things to see.
"We've got moon images, Marvin Martian, Fantastic Four, and all of these things," said Dock. "What brings it together is that we've got little vignettes in the exhibition."
Each vignette represents the particular interests of one of the people who responded to Dock's survey. One of them is Tempe librarian Ralph Brown.
"He's an avid collector of comic books," Dock said. "He grew up on them and is an avid collector. He's also writing us a really nice essay on the love of popular culture and comic books," Dock said.
The exhibit runs through June 8th and admission is free. For more information, go to Tempe.gov.

Product Description
From Amazon
A stranger emerges from the snow-swept prairie, and the moment a young girl touches the "coin of frostbite" on his cheek, she sets off a rivalry that will span 30 years and follow her from the Saskatchewan dust bowl to apple-plenty Ottawa and the humid bustle of New York City. "A child falls in love with a man," the tale goes, "and the man is seduced by the intensity he has generated. Then his attention shifts to something else. End of story." But this is hardly the extent of Elizabeth Hay's Giller-nominated debut novel, A Student of Weather. For when easterner Maurice Dove arrives in parched Willow Bend to study the unusual phenomenon of the Hardy farm's being a veritable "magnet for moisture," he irrevocably disrupts the rhythm of the routine and the hearts of two Hardy sisters: golden Lucinda June and small, dark, unpredictable Norma Joyce.
A Student of Weather is a deftly textured novel about how accidents, in life and weather, impact destiny and how reticence can maim and claim lives. It is about arrivals and leave-takings, forgiveness bestowed then retracted, and the power of artwork to redeem and heal. Hay builds her characters and the world they inhabit from the small details: domestic, elemental, psychological, mythological. The novel's dark luminosity is perfectly embodied by the sisters, whose complex psyches lurk, subdermally, beneath every act, gesture, glance. The saga moves restlessly back and forth across the country, but its true beauty and strength lie in the Saskatchewan sections: the passages describing a seemingly barren grassland teeming with life are like "stepping outside into a burst of liquid birdsong." --Diana Kuprel
From Publishers Weekly
"Two sisters fell down the same well, and the well was Maurice Dove." Acclaimed Canadian short story writer Hay's first novel, recently shortlisted for the prestigious Giller Prize, is a compelling and highly original debut telling the story of two sisters and the jealousy that irrevocably changes their lives when a young student comes to stay on their father's Saskatchewan farm in the 1930s. Ernest Hardy is widowed, a single father raising two young girls on the rural prairies, when twenty-something Maurice Dove arrives from Ottawa to study the region's unusual weather patterns. Eight-year-old Norma Joyce, dark, fiercely intelligent, and inflicted with early puberty, claims Maurice from the first moment she sees him, albeit unrequitedly. Her sister, the "beautiful, saintly" Lucinda, 17, falls deeply in love. After Maurice leaves and his letters stop coming, Lucinda suffers a two-month-long deep depression. Seven years later, the sisters cannot forget Maurice. The Hardy family inherits a relative's house and moves to Ottawa, on the same block as the Dove family home. What occurs between then teenaged Norma Joyce (who will likely invite comparisons to Rhoda Penmark of The Bad Seed) and the war-damaged Maurice brings to light a childhood betrayal significant enough to devastate everyone involved. Moving seamlessly through 30 years in Saskatchewan, Ottawa and New York City, Hay's novel offers up just the right combination of melodrama and melancholy. Already a best seller in Canada, it should soar this side of the border, too.

It begins in 1938 on a farm in Saskatchewan, Canada with two lonely motherless sisters, nine years apart in age and worlds apart in looks and personality. Norma Joyce is small, dark, wiry, homely, inquisitive, provocative, and restless, while older sister Lucinda is a ravishing redhead, quiet, serene, the hard working homemaker for father and younger sister. Although Norma is just a kid, when Maurice Dove, a 'student of weather' visits the farm, both sisters, each in their own way, fall desperately in love with him, a love to last a lifetime, but with tragic consequences. The presence of Maurice will be the wedge that drives the sisters apart and alters the family fate, although the personality of each character will also determine the outcome of the story, which later shifts to Ottawa and then alternates between Ottawa and New York City.
What makes this novel stand out from the crowd aside from its careful plotting and lovely descriptive passages about foliage, flora, and of course weather, are the ways in which the author makes brilliant use of small details of personality and psychology to drive what would otherwise be an ordinary story into high gear and to create unforgettable complex characters. She gets it right on target, too, so much so, that the reader feels that he/she is a witness to real peoples' lives. This book is one of my top picks of the year!
The tension between the sisters is as old as mankind, and Norma Joyce is unable to do anything but what speaks to her true nature. The sisters peaceful coexistence is threatened by the reality of Maurice, ultimately defining each young woman in unexpected ways.
Norma seems at times driven by her own dark desire, even as a child. Her challenge is to live in a way that is self- rather than other-defining. Her true identity remains in shadow until she learns to walk comfortably through the rooms of her own soul, accepting the limitations of her family's inability to express love.
The texture of this novel is extraordinary. A first-time read is only the beginning; A STUDENT OF WEATHER will take on new incarnations with each reading.
When a student of weather arrives at their home, both Lucinda and Norma Joyce tumble into a love for him, and the story begins there.
Norma Joyce is a wonderful character, and her character is often both a joy and hurtful to read. There is an extreme level of pathos and empathy to this work, and all of it important. The story meanders from Saskatchewan to Ottawa and even to New York as we follow Norma Joyce, and as the secrets of her family are uncovered, and her deceits and kindesses are explored, we find a woman of remarkable iron strength.
For myself, the benchmark of a good solid work of literature will always be a strong character base, and "A Student of Weather" definately has that. Between the Hardys, and the student of weather, Maurice Dove, for which the novel is named, there are no weak characters here. I've re-read my copy a few times, and still find something new to its pages.
If you are at all a fan of recent-historical fiction, or simply a lover of strong characters, especially strong women, then this is a book for you. Elizabeth Hay is a name to watch out for.
A Student of Weather is the story of two sisters in love with the same man. It is the story of Norman Joyce and her unrequited love for Dove, the student of weather. It is the story of how she tries to gain his love and the tragic aftermath of it. It is the story of betrayal to her sister, the lovely Lucinda. Lucinda, the sweet one, but was she?
To me, though, the book is mainly about the language. Ms. Hay can make the drab look beautiful. One passage which held my attention was:
". . . who boasted that his women could survive on the food they licked off the spoon that stirred his pot? A remark she'd come across in a book about the far north, and never forgotten. A fantastic statement; no less so when applied to love."
A story of unrequited love told in moving metaphors.

The Canadian Urban Transit Association (CUTA) launched its summer-long online campaign to underscore the importance of making public transit a central pillar of the next Long-Term Infrastructure Plan."Take Action! Write to the Minister" is a grassroots advocacy campaign rallying CUTA members and the public to voice their support and call on the federal government to increase funding for public transit. At its core is an action center designed to send a letter to Minister Lebel with recommendations to make public transit an integral part of the next long term infrastructure plan, and a social media campaign to spread the word and take action.Several months ago, the minister of Transport, Infrastructure and Communities, the Honourable Denis Lebel, launched a formal process that will lead to the development and adoption of Canada's next long-term infrastructure plan. Minister Lebel announced a series of roundtable consultations across Canada with all the provinces and territories to get input into the next generation of infrastructure programs. The vast majority of federal funding for transit in the last decade came from the Building Canada Plan that will expire in 2014.Over the last five years, the federal government has made unprecedented investments in public transit. This contribution, along with provincial and municipal investment, has allowed transit systems across the country to expand and offer more sustainable mobility solutions to Canadians. In fact, ridership growth in Canada has outpaced urban population growth by 50%. The number of trips taken on public transit is at record level, as more Canadians get on board every year. In 2011, no less than 1.99 billion trips were made on public transit.Take Action! Write to Minister Lebel can be accessed by following @canadiantransit on Twitter, becoming a fan on CUTA's Facebook page or taking action at cutaactu.ca

Optimised Solution for E-Business Suite
CIOs and the IT systems that support them are more business-focused than ever. Successful, agile companies appreciate IT systems that adapt readily to their information needs. Coping with every challenge — from peak usage to full-blown organisational transformation, is critical to quick delivery of information to employees — especially decision makers. Global markets operate at the speed of the Internet. Businesses can't ignore change, or they risk being left behind. Read more.
Today's enterprises have higher than ever demands for data and application availability. The rapid digitisation of business processes and increasing expectations from customers and partners for constant uptime is ushering in a new era for IT which is less restricted by manual data protection practices. Telsyte research shows 75 per cent of IT budgets are spent on operations and transformation programs with only 25 per cent left for innovation. To drive more innovation, CIOs must address their number one business priority — reducing operating expenses — and free their organisations from a complex collection of backup, storage and virtualisation systems to ensure applications are online and protected from failures and cyber attacks. Download whitepaper »
Application availability is the name of the game for IT organisations. IDC research has determined that application downtime costs exceeding $100,000 per hour is the median, although that cost can run substantially higher for some organisations. Consequently, organisations are willing to invest considerable sums in availability solutions that avoid downtime and ensure smooth business operations. Download whitepaper »
The consequences of a cyber-attack can be devastating, such as loss of customer confidence, ruined reputation and costly legal ramifications. Not to mention the potential destruction of your entire business. To be fully effective, cyber security must be proactively managed and owned at board level. Not not just by the IT department. It needs to be broad in scope, and senior management needs to recognise that it's a whole of business challenge. Download whitepaper »

Dodge Avenger Repair and Maintenance
A guide to problems, costs, maintenance and repair for your Dodge Avenger
Verified by mechanics, reported by drivers like you
Ask a mechanic in our community
Never overpay. Check prices with our estimator
Our experts translate recalls into plain English
Dodge Avenger ProblemsAutomatic Transmission May Have Shifting Problems
The automatic transmission can develop problems like erratic shifting, rough shifting, or delayed gear engagement. Repairs for many of these problems are outlined in service bulletins.
The anti-theft system may cause a no start condition due to electrostatic discharge (ESD) affecting the wireless control module (WCM). There is an updated WCM to correct this issue.
A knocking sound my be heard from the engine at times with the air conditioning on. The cause could be the AC compressor itself, if that is the case there is an updated AC compressor to correct this issue.
Dodge Avenger QuestionsHow do I start my car"won't start and battery is good"car was working fine (1 answer)
Got home shut car off and it won't start
replaced both low beams, one on passenger side wont work. there is power to the plug. switched bulbs it still wont work
My car started spilling out gas from under the rear drivers side, under the area where you put fuel in. It won't stop. It's leaking out all fuel that I put in within 30 minutes
Dodge Avenger RecallsEngine Stall and/or Failure
522 vehicles equipped with a 2.4L engine are being recalled because the engine may have abrasive debris in the balance shaft bearings. The debris can result in premature wear and loss of engine oil pressure. As a result, the engine could stall unexpectedly or fail. Dealers will replace the engine balance shaft module to correct this concern.
Active head restraints are designed to move forward and upward as necessary in the event of a rear end collision. These vehicles are being recalled because an internal fault in the occupant restraint control module could cause the active head restraints not to function as expected, increasing the risk of injury. Dealers will reprogram the Totally Integrated Power Module (TIPM) or replace the occupant restraint control module as necessary to correct this concern.
The vehicle emission control system includes a fuel vapor canister that stores excess fuel vapors and then releases them to be burned when the engine is running. A broken control valve in the fuel tank assembly could allow liquid fuel to enter the vapor canister, resulting in an engine stalling condition and/or a fuel leak. Having the engine stall while driving increases the risk of a crash and any fuel leak always increases the risk of a fire. Dealers will inspect the fuel tank assembly on affected vehicles and replace a damaged control valve to correct this concern.

The P&O Irish Sea Larne Cairnryan ferry crossing between Northern Ireland and Scotland is the only service operating on this route. With crossing durations from 2 hours, the route is scheduled to run around 7 times per day.
The regularity and duration of crossing varies from time to time so it is advisable to get a live quote for current availability.
Prices shown represent the average one way price paid by our customers. The most common booking on the Larne Cairnryan route is a car and 2 passengers.
"Tranquil crossing"
The evening ferry from Larne to Cairnryan was a relaxing two hour break. There is minimum fuss on arrival and traveling by motorcycle I was waved on first. Reassuringly the bike was carefully secured by the deckhand, always a concern for bikers! The crossing was extraordinarily calm (can't guarantee this part!) and I sat with a medicinal Guinness watching from the forward lounge as the sun went down. The staff were friendly and courteous. If there had been a better restaurant I'd have sat for dinner.

The town and port of Larne is located on the east coast of County Antrim in Northern Ireland. The town's maritime history dates back over 1,000 years and is now a major cargo and passenger port. The town is only around 25 miles from the Scottish mainland and lies on the western side of a narrow inlet that links it to the sea. The eastern side of the inlet is the Island Magee Peninsular and to the west is the ancient volcanic formation of Antrim Plateau. Due to the town's proximity to Scotland, there are magnificent views to be had towards the Mull of Kintyre, Rhins of Galloway, Islay and Paps of Jura.
Larne is Northern Ireland's busiest ferry port and handles around 1 million passengers and 200, 000 cars every year. Passenger facilities at the port are excellent with lounge areas, a restaurant, cash machines, shops, tourist information and a rail and bus station. The two main ferry services operating out of the port to mainland Britain are to Cairnryan, with a crossing time of around 1 hour and 45 minutes. There is also a service to Troon with a crossing time of around 2 hours. There is also a ferry that operates between Larne and Fleetwood in the north west of England.
Cairnryan is a small Scottish village that lies on the eastern shore of Loch Ryan in Dumfries and Galloway. The village can trace its origins back to 1701 when it was established to house the workers on the Lochryan Estate, which has a deer park and bowling green. The village has a long and important seafaring history and today is home to a ferry service that connects Scotland to Northern Ireland. There isn't a great deal of things to do and see in the village and its facilities include a hotel, some bed and breakfast guest houses, a caravan site which has been built on the site of an old war camp sire, a village shop and the Merchant's House Restaurant.
The village's harbour has two ferry terminals which provide ferry services to Larne and Belfast. The Larne terminal was opened in 1973 and is now operated by P&O Ferries and the second, for services to Belfast, is operated by Stena Line.

Here is a copy of Washington Spirit's press release. More information to follow
BOYDS, Md (July 1, 2016) – The Washington Spirit has partnered with four local clubs – Arlington Soccer Association, Braddock Road Youth Club, Loudoun Soccer, and Southwestern Youth Association – to become one of the first 25 member clubs of the U.S. Soccer Girls' Development Academy.
Since 2007, U.S. Soccer's Boys' Development Academy has served as the elite male youth player development model for the country and has significantly improved the everyday environment for players, coaches, referees, and clubs. The Girls' Development Academy will be structured with many of the same principles and will begin play in the fall of 2017.
"Launching a Girls' Development Academy is part of an unprecedented commitment to elevating the women's game," said U.S. Soccer Women's Technical Director April Heinrichs in the news release from U.S. Soccer on Thursday. "The Development Academy program will offer clubs support and education to positively impact the development of players and coaches throughout the country."
Club applications were evaluated and accepted by U.S. Soccer's technical staff based on leadership of the club and quality of the coaching staff, desire to embrace and promote the core values of the program, U.S. Soccer license levels of coaching staff, infrastructure of the club and the resources currently being invested in development (facilities, scholarships, staff to player ratio, etc.), history of player production for Youth National Teams, the senior Women's National Team and professional leagues, market and depth of the player pool, geographic location and travel implications and proximity to other elite clubs.
"The partner clubs we have assembled for the Virginia side of our Development Academy plans represent an amazing collection of like-minded leaders with impeccable credentials and a long history of success," said Washington Spirit President Chris Hummer. "This partnership now offers all of the players in those clubs a direct pathway to the professional game, and we couldn't be more excited to get started in helping them get there."
In order to provide similar pathways to the professional game for all players in the metropolitan Washington, DC region, the Spirit also has plans for an Academy on the northern side of the Potomac River to be detailed at a later date.
U.S. Soccer will officially launch the Girls' Development Academy Program in the fall of 2017. For additional information about the program, please visit the U.S. Soccer Girls' Development Academy website. To contact the Spirit about interest in this program, email firstname.lastname@example.com.

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
Anthony Grifoni
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
Steph Mundell
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
Andrew Mitsi
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
Simon Harriott
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

windows media player 12 library is corrupted
I have a new HP p7-1236s with Windows 7 64bit OS. As I was setting up I needed to install the software for a Fuji Finepix A330 digital camera from a prior system. I installed from the CD which was not compatible with Win 7 and then used Fuji's Updater to bring it up to ver. 5.5 which worked fine.
After doing this I found I could not add video to my Windows Media Player 12 Library by playing an item. After much trouble shooting and a LOT of wasted time I determined that the WIndows Media Platyer Library is corrupted. (Used Microsoft's Auto Fixes which can reset Media Player so that set-up can be re-run but the library remains corrupted. Win Media Player 12 does not seem to be available independently. Only embedded in Windows 7.)
Nothing I do will correct it. All 'solutions' are circular. (Microsoft says contact HP. HP Support Assistant provides only useless FAQs. No information on how to actually contact HP (which Microsoft requries for OEM software.)
This appears to be a common problem. Can anyone offer any insight? THanks.

I am not sure if this will work for the library but it may be worth a try:

Re: windows media player 12 library is corrupted
You can force a re-build of WMPs library database as follows.
From the Start Menu, open the Control Panel and open Folder Options. Click the View tab, fill in the radio button titled 'Show hidden files folders and Drives' and take the tick out of the box next to 'Hide extensions of known file types'. Click apply to make these changes.
Make sure Windows Media Player and Windows Media Centre are closed.
Click the Start Menu, open Local Disk C, open Users, double click 'your user name', open Local Settings, open Application Data, open Microsoft and open Media Player. Delete all the files that have the extension .wmdb - do not delete any folders.
Close this window and then go back to Folder Options and re-hide Hidden files folders and Drives and extensions of known file types.
Open Windows Media Player - it will now begin to re-build the library database which may take a while depending on the size of the library, but when it has finished, see if this has corrected the issue.

FLORHAM PARK, N.J. -- Darrelle Revis spends 10 hours a day at the New York Jets' facility, rehabilitating his strained hamstring with everything from massage to acupuncture. He's making progress, but not enough to play Sunday against the Buffalo Bills.
Rex Ryan made it official Thursday, announcing that his star cornerback won't make the trip this weekend to Buffalo.
"As bad as we want him to play, we want him to play the whole season," said Ryan, alluding to his concern about the possibility of aggravating the hamstring.
This will be Revis' second missed game, and there's no guarantee he will return the following Monday night against the Minnesota Vikings. Initially, the doctors felt this was a four-week injury.
If the Jets want to be ultraconservative, they could sit Revis for the Vikings and Denver Broncos, which would take them into their bye week. That would give him five weeks of rest and rehab before the Oct. 31 game against the Green Bay Packers.
Rookie Kyle Wilson started for Revis last week, but he struggled against the Miami Dolphins and it appears that he may lose his starting job to career backup Drew Coleman, who hasn't started a game since 2006. Wilson would slide inside to be the slot corner in nickel situations.
Revis said he's making daily progress, saying he ran Thursday at half speed -- the first time he ran since getting hurt late in the second quarter of the Jets' Week 2 win over the New England Patriots. Revis said the injury is more significant than he initially thought, calling it the worst of his career.
Backup offensive lineman Wayne Hunter (badly bruised right shin) and backup linebacker Jamaal Westerman (hamstring/ankle) also will not make the trip to Denver because of their injuries.
Center Nick Mangold (right shoulder) and linebacker Calvin Pace (right foot) are also listed as questionable. Both were limited at practice Friday.
Pace has missed the first three games of the regular season after breaking his foot in the preseason. He practiced for the first time this week and there's a chance he could play in pass-rushing situations.
"He did have some reps today in the team period, so we want to see how he comes back from that," Ryan said. "That one could be a game-timer to really see. Is he going to be starting? Is he going to be extended? There is no way. I would not do that right now."
Linebacker Jason Taylor was limited with an injured left elbow, but is expected to play. Right tackle Damien Woody returned to practice after missing two days due to an undisclosed personal issue.

This problem seems to occur only with multisites, in non-multisite use the language files work fine. I tried with theme twentyeleven, it's the same.

The arabinogalactan proteins (AGPs, AG proteins) belong to a highly diverse class of glycoproteins present on cell surfaces of plants (Seifert and Roberts, 2007; Ellis et al., 2010; Tan et al., 2012). AGPs consist mainly of glycans (>90% w/w), and are synthesized by post-translational modification in the secretory pathway. The importance of the carbohydrate moieties of AGPs in various cellular processes has been reported, including somatic embryogenesis, cell–cell interactions and cell elongation (Seifert and Roberts, 2007). Most of these studies involved use of monoclonal antibodies raised against the AG polysaccharides, and a temporal and spatial appearance of specific AG epitopes during development has been reported. However, as the precise epitope structure for most of the antibodies is not known, the molecular function of the AG glycan structures remains to be determined. The appearance of different AG glycans is probably controlled by a glycosylation process rather than redundancy of protein cores, as a developmentally controlled pattern of glycosylation was observed on a single synthetic peptide expressed in Arabidopsis (Estevez et al., 2006). Therefore, elucidation of the enzymes involved in the biosynthesis of AG glycans is expected to facilitate our understanding of the function of AGPs.
The structure of AG polysaccharides is very heterogeneous even on a single peptide (Estevez et al., 2006; Tan et al., 2010), but commonly consists of a β–1,3-galactan backbone with substitution at the O6 position with β–1,6-galactan side chains (type II AG, Tan et al., 2012); a model structure is shown in Figure 3(a). The side chains are typically further substituted by arabinose (Ara) and less frequently with other sugars such as glucuronic acid or 4–O–methyl glucuronic acid (collectively referred to as GlcA), rhamnose (Rha) and fucose (Fuc) (Tsumuraya et al., 1988; Tan et al., 2010; Tryfona et al., 2010, 2012). The glycosylation of AGPs is catalyzed by glycosyltransferases (GTs) that are located mainly in the Golgi apparatus. GTs act in a regio- and stereo-specific manner (Lairson et al., 2008), and it is expected that at least ten functionally distinct GTs are required for the biosynthesis of type II AG. So far, two fucosyltransferases (AtFUT4 and AtFUT6; Wu et al., 2010), two galactosyltransferases (AtGALT2; Basu et al., 2013; AtGALT31A; Geshi et al., 2013) and a putative arabinosyltransferase (AtRAY1; Gille et al., 2013) from Arabidopsis have been reported in the AG glycosylation pathway. AG fucosyltransferase activity was demonstrated by gain of function of fucosylated AGs by heterologous expression of Arabidopsis AtFUT4 and AtFUT6 in tobacco BY2 cells (Wu et al., 2010). Fucose on AGPs is important for root development (Van Hengel and Roberts, 2002), but a role for AtFUT4 and AtFUT6 in vivo remains to be elucidated. Galactosyltransferase (GalT) activity towards hydroxyproline in the synthetic peptide was demonstrated for Arabidopsis AtGALT2 expressed in Pichia pastoris (Basu et al., 2013). The atgalt2 mutants demonstrated lower GalT activity and a reduced level of β–galactosyl Yariv-precipited AGPs, but no apparent morphological phenotype was reported (Basu et al., 2013). The GalT activity in elongation of the β1,6-galactan side chains of AG was demonstrated by Arabidopsis AtGALT31A expressed in Escherichia coli and Nicotiana benthamiana (Geshi et al., 2013). A mutation in AtGALT31A caused aberrant asymmetric formative divisions in the hypophysis during embryogenesis, and embryo development was arrested at the globular stage, indicating an essential role for AG glycan in the normal development of embryo (Geshi et al., 2013). Although GT activity of RAY1 has not yet been demonstrated, mutations in this GT family 77 gene led to an extensive reduction in Ara moieties in beta-glucosyl Yariv-precipited AGPs (Gille et al., 2013). This alteration in arabinosylation leads to shortened primary roots, but lateral root growth is not affected.
We have characterized an Arabidopsis GT encoded by At5g39990 that belongs to the GT14 family in the Carbohydrate Active Enzyme database (CAZy, www.cazy.org; Cantarel et al., 2009). The GT14 family contains several mammalian GTs involved in protein glycosylation, e.g. β–1,6-N–acetyl glucosaminyltransferases catalyzing β–1,6-linked N–acetylglucosaminylation in core 2 or I–branched O–glycosylation and protein O–β-xylosyltransferases (Bierhuizen et al., 1993; Yu et al., 2001; Wilson, 2002). In contrast, none of the putative plant GT14s [e.g. 11 from Arabidopsis, 12 from rice (Oryza sativa)] have been characterized. Plant GT14s are phylogenetically related to the protein family containing Domain of Unknown Function 266 (DUF266; Ye et al., 2011), and a mutation in a DUF266 protein in rice (brittle culm 10, BC10) caused a severe alteration in the mechanical strength of the stem and the AG quantity and structure (Zhou et al., 2009). The authors concluded that BC10 is probably a GT, but involvement in the AG glycosylation pathway is not clear.
In this paper, we provide evidence for GlcAT activity of At5g39990 and its role in the biosynthesis of type II AG structures and cell elongation during seedling growth.

Can anyone shed some light on why a project I've been working on in the last week has suddenly corrupted with a message "Sorry - kdenlive" and a great long list of entries like this come up in a dialogue:
Invalid clip producer 52_4_audio etc etc
Invalid clip removed from track 4 at 2,572 etc etc
I've has so much hassle with sunab PPA 'unstable' builds in the last couple of weeks with crashing, then render dialogue failing to appear causing crashes, both of which did not happen with daily build script builds, which I ended up using in preference, now this project above with many many cuts if foobar, next to nothing left on the timeline.
I've gone back through old builds, project back up files and all say the same.
Not complaining, corruption is just one of the risks of using 'unstable' builds of coarse, just wonder before I start the project again if there's a solution or work around.
I've managed to salvage a project back up also manually compared and edited the kdenlive xml project file so ok for now, still interested to know possible reasons why corruption happened.
